Thirteen-year-old Arisa Trew from the Gold Coast, who is ranked 14th in the world and aims to represent Australia at next year’s 2024 Paris Olympic Games, lands two mid-air rotations at the Tony Hawk Vert Alert in the US on Sunday. ‘I’m so excited to be the first girl to land a 720 in the world,’ Trew says. Her coach, Trevor Ward, says, ‘It really was an amazing thing. We’ve worked really hard … Just a lot of training, a lot of pain and she came through with the goods on the biggest stage in the world’
